I see that SQLiteOpenHelper class has a SQLiteDatabase instance called mDatabase.
I also see that, it calls mDatabase.lock();
However there is no lock() function for SQLiteDatabase class, which I am guessing lock() function was implemented for the older APIS.

So my question is , is there a newer verion of SQLiteOpenHelper which is implemented with out using the lock() functions. I looked at the source tree of android but I could not find it.

I am asking this because I need to implement my own SQLiteOpenHelper with has a little more control.

For instance I want to be able to set the locale option here when you open the data base and I don't want re invent the wheel so I was thinking I can use SQLiteOpenHelper but change it slightly.
